5 out of 5 stars Beautiful

Great belays, climbed with a party of 3. I linked the final 2 pitches, finishing with the sport variation. Mind the ledge below the sport finish, I popped off and took a grounder from the 2nd bolt...

5 out of 5 stars Blow me down!

This was a really fun route, though it was super super windy, which made rappelling a bastard. I got to lead the 1st and 3rd pitch. I think pitch 1 is harder than pitch 2. Definitely go past the first anchors to the next ones about 30 feet above. If it is windy, be prepared for rope trouble on the rappel.

5 out of 5 stars Fine Jade

Climed with jrathfon and I led every pitch. Took one fall on the first pitch when exiting right from the OW, this pitch felt much more difficult than the "crux" 5.11- higher up. Took a rack from purple c3-4 camalot with 4x .4, 3x .5-1, 2x 2-3. We broke this into 6 pitches and had a mighty fine time.

5 out of 5 stars One of the best

This is one of my favorite desert routes--I've done it twice and it is amazing.

5 out of 5 stars fun

great route. first pitch is way puker, second pitch seems tame comparitively. the chossy traverse above the crux pitch kinda surprised me. did the bolted finish, which is really good but i'm going to do the original finish next time.

GAAAGGGHHHHH!!!!! no onsight here; I had to hang while cleaning a cam at the crux of pitch one. in my opinion, pitch one has the hardest moves on this classic route. woo!

Doesn't get much better than this. Look for deep hand jams on P1. Bolted finish is just as good as the traverese in my opinion.
